Bonjour iTunes Wireless Sync Failure

Looking to see if anyone has experienced any iTunes Wireless Sync issues: Network setup as follows:
2504 Wireless Controller running 7.6.100.10 and three 1602 AP's set for LOCAL Mode running CAPWAP, and running a Guest WLAN and a User WLAN.
We use a wide variety of Mac products (iPad, Mac Mini, AppleTV, iPhones, MacBooks), and are now experiencing iTunes Wireless sync failures. I have mDNS enabled, mDNS is added to the WLAN's and the interfaces, multicast is tuned on, IGMP snooping enabled, multicast is enabled on the wired infrastructure....the weird thing is all the other Bonjour features are working. We can push desktops to the AppleTV, Stream Music, Print, share files, etc iTunes Wireless Sync is not working. I've been watching the mDNS browser and using the Bonjour Browser on my MacBook and I notice a two odd things:
1) I never see a a Layer 3 Multicast MGID Entry with the Apple Multicast Network (224.0.0.251) populate in the Multicats Window
2) I have the service enabled for ITunesWirelessDeviceSharing (_apple-mobdev._tcp.local.) in my mDNS profile but I never see any device use that sting. While watching the mDNS browser I do occasionally see the follwing: _apple-mobdev2._tcp.local. which is generated from the iPhone 5's. I copied the string and created a new service and added it to my mDNS profile but still no joy.
Any advice would be welcomed

Windows 8 and iTunes Wireless Sync

I have two windows PC's, one with windows 8 and the other with windows 7.
They both do not have third party internet security installed, and both just rely on the windows firewall.
I've noticed that even after disabling the windows firewall and defender on windows 8, that my iPhone 4S is unable to wirelessly sync with iTunes.
The windows 7 computer doesn't seem to have this problem at all once the firewall is down.
That obviously eliminates problems with my router.
Does anyone know a work around for this problem on Windows 8?
Thanks

Suspect this has something to do with Windows 8 not supporting the WinSock API that bonjour uses.. see http://lists.apple.com/archives/bonjour-dev/2012/Jan/msg00022.html

Why wont iTunes wirelessly sync with my iPhone 5?

Hi, I was wondering if somebody could help me.
I have an iPhone 5, I am running the latest version of iTunes on my iMac and my iPhone is displayed on iTunes. It is ticked to wirelessly sync. Both devices connect to my home wifi. However more often than not when I want to wirelessly sync some new podcasts or music to my iPhone (I tick what I want and then click apply) a box appears and says "looking for iPhone" it does this for a minute or two before presenting me with a message that says something along the lines of "the info could not be backed up as the device could not be found". My iPhone then disappears from iTunes and will not reappear until I connect it via USB. Once I disconnect the USB my iPhone stays listed on iTunes until I try to wirelessly sync again. Similarly if I try to sync my iPhone from the phone to iTunes it just says "look for iMac" until eventually giving up.
I had an iPhone 4 before the 5 and it was set up in exactly the same way using the same version of iTunes the same iMac and over the same wifi and that worked first time every time. I have also tried quitting iTunes and restarting my iPhone.
Sorry for waffling on but its becoming slightly annoying and I was hoping someone could help.
Cheers

I am having the same issue. Since updating to iTunes 11 my iPhone 5 will no longer wirelessly sync. I am operating the latest version of Mountain Lion on a two month old Macbook Pro. When I plug in the USB I go through the steps of making sure the box is clicked to Wireslly sync, but after a few minutes of un-plugging the cord my phone dissapears from my devices. It tries to locate it, but cannot.
Furthermore, when I launched iTunes 11 for the first time my phone was synced, but since I accidenttly hit the eject button in the top right, this button has yet to come back. Even when the iPhone is linked via USB. Am I Crazy, stupid, or is this a bug?
BTW, how did MrTrav15 have this problem on 10/17 a month-and-a-half before the launching of iTunes 11?

ITunes wireless sync and Remote App not working in in unison.

I'm running iTunes on a Windows 8 machine, and I'm having issues getting both these above mentioned applications working together.
I did have some issues in the beginning with setting up wireless sync for my iPhone, but these were fixed by restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service that runs in the background.
The remote application seemed to have similar issues in the beginning, so I tried restarting the Apple Mobile Device Service - and this seemed to help, but then wireless sync faulted again.
After having a bit more of a read, I made sure UPnP was enabled across the board - in my PC and router, SSDP on my PC was changed to automatic mode, all bonjour services were confirmed running and there and I couldn't see any funky rules in my firewall that may be causing me issues.
I did find though, that both the remote app and the wireless sync functions operate on the same ports; TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353. I'd imagine if this would be a problem, it would have been picked up - but I can't find any solid info to disregard this thought. Can anyone confirm or deny that this could be an issue?
Any other ideas? Cheers.

New iTunes, same sync problems with Vista

Hi
I got really excited when I saw in the fixes for the latest iTunes 8.1 for Windows that they had fixed sync problems with iPhones. They haven't!
On Vista Ultimate the sync has always been a problem, with either OutlookSyncClient or AppleMobileSync (or both) frequently crashing. With the previous couple of versions of iTunes, in my case, it has happened every third or fourth sync. Now with the new version it is almost every sync. It took me five disconnect and reconnect attempts and a couple of reboots to succcessfully sync this morning.
I've tried every fix I can find on line. I read that the Outlook sync problem was caused by an incompatibility with pst files that were not unicode. Oddly, I wasn't supposed to be able to sync with an old pst at all, but it did work erratically. Converting my pst to unicode didn't make any difference.
With the AppleMobileSync problem, I read that completely removing all Apple software in a particular order, restarting each time between removals, then clean reinstalling, should solve the problem. It didn't.
Now the problem is even worse and I'm at my wits end on it. Come on Apple, get a grip!
If anyone can shed any light on this I would be really grateful!

ITunes & Device Syncing Problems FREEZING

My mom updated my version of iTunes while I was away from home for a week and ever since I have been unable to use it for anything.
I can't run any other programs if iTunes is open because CPU usage spikes to maximum.
I can't sync my iPod Touch 4G OR update its iOS software because it freezes in both instances part way through backing up the device.
I have even tried to just let it finish syncing overnight, thinking maybe it would eventually make it, when I woke up this morning it was still at the same level of 'backing up' as when I went to bed.
I've never had problems with my iTunes or iPod like this. Help?!

Hey there,
Well I think the get a Mac ads finally paid off...
Plug your iPhone into your computer and click on the Photos tab that comes up. Make the checkbox is ticked so iTunes actually syncs your photos. I recommend you make a new folder called "Photos" or whatever and place all the photos you want to be in your iPhone in that folder. Then in the Photos tab in iTunes, select that "Photos" folder to be imported into your iPhone. Finnaly press the "Apply" button in the bottom right and then press the "Sync" button. This should clear your problems.

Wireless Sync Problem.

My iPad Mini and iTunes 11.2 are both setup to wirelessly sync. The sync starts just fine, telling me that iTunes is 'preparing to sync', syncing email accounts, and then the sync stops, showing the message "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-50)"
Any ideas anyone? Thanks!

Howdy lightworks56,
It sounds like you are getting error code 50 when trying to sync your iPad to your computer. I would use the troubleshooting from the following article named:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4062
Start with these steps:
Quit and reopen iTunes and restart your iOS device
Quit and reopen iTunes on your computer. Then, restart your iOS device.
Restart your network router
Restart your home network router using the manufacturer's instructions. You may need to disconnect the power cord for 30 seconds or more.
Note: During this time, Internet services, such as a VoIP-based phone, won't work, and you may need to reset additional network devices.
Check your network connection
Make sure that your Wi-Fi network has an active Internet connection.
Make sure that you connect your iOS devices and computer to the same network over Wi-Fi.
Check for network configuration changes that may interfere with syncing:
VPN configurations
Extending the Wi-Fi network through multiple wireless access points or routers
Guest networks or other security configurations that limit access between devices
Routers that configure different networks for different frequencies such as 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
Connecting the computer over Ethernet
Wake up your computer and open iTunes. If your computer is asleep or iTunes isn't open, the device may not sync.
Update your router. If you're using an AirPort or AirPort Time Capsule, you can learn more about firmware updates. If you're using a router from another manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ask about available updates.
There are additional steps to use after these if needed in the article.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

When is Apple going to fix the iTunes 11 syncing problem!!!!

After troubleshooting the iTune 11 upgrade seems to cause syncing problems for everyone. I've tried everything and my ipod will no longer sync. Help! When is Apple going to apply a fix for this?????

My sync problem has been going on since I updated to IOS 8. I have had two telephone help calls and one Genius Bar visit. I am no further forward.
MY iPhone and iPad will randomly fill to capacity with OTHER files requiring a complete reboot. I have disabled iCloud drive and tried reorganising and deleting files from my iTunes library. All of my devices worked almost perfectly prior to this upgrade. I now dread syncing either of my devices to see what latest iTunes problem is now present.
I Have one simple question which no one at Apple has answered. When iTunes finds a file it doesn't like or will not sync why does it not flag it up with the reason for the problem. iTunes has done this for many years with incompatible files and missing album art work. If iTunes could only tell us why it is continually waiting for sync to start or give us a reason for our iOS device suddenly filling to capacity with OTHER files at least we would be able to do our own diagnosis and repairs. Apple need to sort out this issue soon. I'm losing patience and faith in Apple products. So no iPhone 6 upgrade for me till this gets properly sorted.

Wirelessly sync problems

Hi Guys, hopefully one of you can help me with this as i havent been able to find anything on gogle yet.
I am trying to setup Wireless sync between the z2 and my PC, i had previoulsy done this properly then had to perform a factory reset on the phone, and now its no longer working.
The problem is that my pc does not appear in the USB connectivity field in settings, but when i try to pair i get the following message: "The pc is already paired with your Xperia. To set up devices again, remove the pairing."
Though there is no where on the phone i can find to remove pairing. I can however see my PC name under the throw option and in smart connect....thougb im not sure wether this has anything to do with the wireless sync, and in any case i cant see an way to remove those pairings either.
I have so far tried re-installing the sony pc companion app, and have gotten the same messages still.
Any help or input will be greatly appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Which OS are you running on your PC?
Have you tried checking the Devices option on your PC if your Xperia Z2 is present? If yes try to delete it and do the pairing again.
Still having problems, please post more information (step by step) and we will try to replicate this and help you troubleshoot the problem.

Itunes 9 Syncing problem

Hi i am getting this message...
'iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone 3Gs because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing?
Click on Yes.....
Error Message- iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services, reconnect or try again later...'
Can anyone help, this was working fine before i updated to 3.1 and iTunes 9...
Thanks and regards
Mat

I broke down and called Apple support. Eventually I got to a second level support person and after trying a few things which didn't help. She said I needed to uninstall iTunes and re-install. Actually you have to uninstall iTunes, Quicktime, Apple Software update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support & Apple Application update. And that's the order she had me do them and she said it did matter.
I rebooted. Downloaded a new iTunes & re-installed. Eventually it all worked.
So far no problems. I don't know what went wrong but the uninstall & reinstall answer was worthy of Microsoft at it's best.
If you try it I hope it works for you as well.

ITunes music sync problem: "drag & drop" works; "Sync Music" doesn't?

I've been trying to sync a few new playlists of music to my iPhone 3GS with frustrating results.
I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I may be doing wrong.
In the past when I wanted to add new music to my iPhone I would use what I refer to as the "Sync Music" or Music tab method. I would rip the CD, create a new playlist for the album, plug in my iPhone, select it under the Devices list in iTunes then click on the Music tab up at the top of iTunes (I have "Sync Music" checked and "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" checked. I would scroll down through the list of playlists, find the new playlist I created and check the box next to it and sync my phone to add the new music.
This has worked flawlessly for years. Until now.
The last three albums I have tried to add this way will not sync to my 3GS. The music will play perfectly on my MacBook in iTunes. I ripped the music the same way, created the playlists the same way, and I can even get as far as the list of playlists under the "Sync Music" check box in the Music tab. I can see the new playlists in this list, I check the boxes indicating I want to sync them to my phone, but when I click Apply and then Sync, the music never shows up on my iPhone.
I keep every new album I import in it's own playlist, so being able to select which playlists I want to sync to my phone is definitely the method I would prefer to use, but since it wasn't working I tried checking the box next to "Manually manage music and videos" on the Summary tab. This of course disables the Music tab and unchecks the box next to "Sync Music".
I'm not too familiar with using this method to manage my music library, so maybe someone can show me a better way to do this, but with the "Manually manage music and videos" box checked the only way I know to add music to my iPhone is to drag a playlist one at a time from my iTunes library to my phone in the devices list.
This is where I get confused. For some reason the new ablums I ripped, which I was unable to sync the way I am used to ("Sync Music" check box/Music tab method), can be dragged and dropped onto my phone and they are copied to the phone without a problem.
WHY!?
Why, am I able to sync these ablums using this tedious and clunky drag and drop method and yet I'm unable to copy them to my iPhone using my prefered "Sync Music" checkbox method?
If you have any idea why I'm experiencing these problems or if you have experienced a similar problem please let me know.
Thank you.

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

ITunes 11 sync problems with iPhone 5 and ios 7

I just installed itunes 11 and it iTunes will no longer sync with my iPhone 5. It would say that it was syncing and then the new files would not be transferred. I uninstalled and re-installed. All of my files were present in iTunes. I would try to sync again and now it tells me I need 500 MB of space to complete the sync I am only trying to sync 9 new songs. No way its 500 MB. Besides the bar at the bottom of itunes says I have 3.2 GB of space. Is anyone else having trouble with the new iTunes?

Ok folks .. here is the solution that has finally worked for me. After spending over 45 days on and off the phone with Apple support, this is the work around solution for the ibooks.
Set your IPAD as new and go through that whole set up process. Plug in your device so it can communicate with iTunes. When you load your books from iTunes to the IPAD do not synic the first time. You will have to drag and drop from iTunes the books/music you want loaded. After you manually do this, the synic seems to work fine.
Also things I have found. By dragging and dropping the volume of books I have. It took less time to load on my IPAD then it did trying to synic and waiting over 24 hours to load in IPAD (at which time you can't touch your device). It was during this huge file load that the Ibooks App/iTunes/Cloud and whatever other Apple software all talk, that the books being loaded start to go squirrely and go into limbo.
Here is the problem. When you get the message "waiting for files to copy", itunes and your device are having an issue. So files that iTunes thinks it has copied over, actually go into limbo and sit there greyed out and won't work on your device. When you try to re-synic again, iTunes says "hey! I have already copied these over" and will sit there on "waiting for files to copy".
A way to fix the files that are in limbo, delete your app and re-download it. The files that moved over from iTunes to your device will still be there, however, the files that are in limbo will disappear. This should stop the synic issue ... or it will identify that there are issues with some of your files.
Is this a great fix ... nope!   I pushed and pushed to be allowed to talk with someone from DEV and got stonewalled. I even brought in their Customer Support from Corp Head office and got absolutely no where.
BOTTOM LINE: iTunes and your devices can not handle a huge transfer of files from iTunes to the device and it creates this limbo "waiting for files to be copied". I find this ironic, because I have never had this problem when it comes to my music (transfering from iTunes to my IPOD), however, I haven't synic that device in awhile, guess i am scared it will do the same crap.
I also got Apple to acknowledge that when they test out their new software upgrades and devices that they ONLY test with iTunes Store only products (ie: music/books/apps). Infact, Apple DOES NOT test any outside source materials. I found this rather pathethically sad, since 99.9% of the users of any devices get their music/books from sources OTHER then the Apple Store. This means that a file that USED to work for you (example: a song) and was loaded on your device fine before all these software upgrades in Nov/2013 might not work anymore because of a change they have made in their software.
Last conversation I had with Apple (both Support and Customer Service) was them telling me that DEV was looking into the problem but did not have an ETA on when a fix would happen.
Also keep in mind, I found that even with a 128kg AIR, it doesn't like to hang alot of books.   I found that at around 3k in books, the device starts to freeze up. This contradicts the Apple concept, that the device can hold as many songs/books as you want, until you reach the max room available on the device. I can clearly tell you this statement is infact false. The device does not like to hold that many files and it starts to delay on you (quite noticeable) at 3k.
So, that in a nutshell has been my experience with Apple Support. 45 days later, I have reset my Air 10 times, tried to load all my books (at one time) 9 times, to finally find that the only way to get them in was a drag and drop the alphabetic (one letter at a time) and let it load on the IPAD before I would drag and drop more. The synic problem doesnt happen anymore, I had to eliminate 2 books that itunes just would not send over to the IPAD even though there was nothing wrong with the file. Am I happy?   NOPE ... talk about bait and switch.
Consumers beware ... Apple doesn't necessarily deliver what it says it will.

ITunes/iPad sync problem?

I've been syncing my ipad fine over the last few months, at least 2 or 3 times week, but today iTunes has suddenly decided that it doesn't want to. It says that I need to uninstall iTunes, then install the 64-bit version.. which is what this version should be anyway..
I've installed nothing new on my PC (Windows 7) and i've even tried turning it off and on again.
Anyone had this problem?

Sorry. I didn't realzie that the "other" came back as well. That is an indication that you are syncing something corrupt. Sometimes the only way to get rid of that huge "Other" content is to restore as new and start all over again....sometimes that is, not always, but sometimes, that's what you have to do.
Obviously something is getting corrupted so unless you can pin down for sure what it is, I recommend restoring as new, and start adding things back to the iPad in small increments and see how it goes. That includes adding music back in small bits as well.

TS1474 iTunes/USB sync problem with iPhone 5

Syncing my iPhone 5 to iTunes via USB has gotten very, very slow in the last few days and since yesterday my calendar hangs and does not sync. Possible solutions?

In addition, I just turned off syncing calendars, and now I'm "hanging" on syncing contacts. I think that the problem is with syncing, period, not limited to a particular data base.
